I’m a junior at Parkway West High School in Ballwin, MO, and so far, it has been a great experience. The teachers at the school certainly push students to do their best. Not only that, but most of them try to help as much as they can within the course. While there are always going to be a few mishaps at each school, Parkway West does a great job at helping their students grow from every experience throughout their high school career. Even through a pandemic, the school has not stopped their pursuit of encouraging students to find their path in life. Whether it’s for high school or college, they want you to excel. The only issue I have had is not receiving enough info about college prep. However, I have used my own resources to figure this out. The school has great lunch services, fun elective courses, and a wonderful staff. Extracurriculars are great too; our sports teams are very competitive and clubs are always intriguing. Overall, Parkway West is a spectacular high school!
Hi, my name is Anna Malchanava,
My High School experience allowed for me to grow as a person and think about my future! Due to the amazing staff and teachers who I can call them friends at this point, helped me to push through and get involved! Parkway West High School offers a lot of opportunity's for anyone and everyone attending including getting involved in different clubs, sports, art and music programs. If it wasn't for the people I met and education I received, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now! I'm so excited to see where the future takes me and it's all thanks to the community that makes Parkway West High School the best!

I graduated on 5/21/22.
My experience with this school has been phenomenal to say the least. Sure the building is older, and the parking lot can get congested, but the fact of the matter is that the knowledge and wisdom I gained in the classrooms is beyond worth it. I would 100% argue that this is the best public school in the St. Louis area with extremely compassionate and effective staff and a lively energetic student body that will cater to all of your children's needs. The location: 10/10. The amenities: 8/10 with reconstruction of the pool in the near future, this will easily be a 10. Thank you PWest!
